A man has appeared at Derry Magistrates Court charged with harassment of his mother.
Nathan Larmour (23) of no fixed abode was charged with harassment of his mother on March 6.
Larmour had previously been bailed on March 4 under the condition that he have no contact with his mother.
On March 5 police received a report that he was at her address and refusing to leave.
His mother was said to be 'very distressed' and claimed that Larmour was making threats against his sister.
Police warned him to avoid contact with his mother but were called again just three hours later on the morning on March 6.
Larmour was said to be at his mother's front door and police arrested him.
When interviewed, Larmour admitted to going to the address but denied harassment, claiming that he had been invited there.
Police objected to bail as they believed that he was at clear risk of reoffending as the defendant had 60 previous convictions.
Defence Barrister Michael Wilson called the case 'nuanced', telling the court that the relationship between Larmour and his mother was 'clearly toxic'.
Bail was granted with a curfew, tag and a condition that he does not enter Magherafelt, he will appear again on April 3.
